With an 0 and 2 count, Keefe threw it on the outside corner Gunner had to go after it Tim did a good job of pin-pointing that ball It was too close to let go by... but not good enough to hit Two down Ewing asks for a new ball He calls time and trots out to the mound A conference going on between Ewing and Keefe FOFC sends the right fielder, Persimmon Pflaggstettler, up to the plate Pflaggstettler has hit 23 home runs this year Keefe steps off the mound toward second Gives the resin bag a good squeeze...

He walked him, ball four The lead-off batter gets on here in the top of the 1st The All Stars try the hit and run! Tucker gets under this one It's popped high in the air to second Morgan is waving everybody off Tucker is retired One down for FOFC Persimmon Pflaggstettler is still in the on-deck circle and Jeeberoni Potpie is looking for a bat in the dugout Pflaggstettler watches a roundhouse curve all the way in Strike Three called! That one started out right at Persimmon, In fact, he started to bend back out of the way Gibson just delivered a sweeping curve that just caught the inside corner of the plate And there's two away Bouncer up the middle Past Joe Morgan... base hit into center field! Blade makes the turn at second Third base coach Dick Howser tells him to keep a-comin' Runners at first and third There's a foul behind behind the plate Roy is after it Digging hard... Not in time! Too shallow of a pop-up for Campanella to reach it in time Another chance for Hays . . . Hays back in the box And here comes the next pitch Hays gets a good cut at it... He lifts it high and deep toward left Aaron is heading back... At the ivy And he makes the catch for the out! Gibson breathes a sigh of relief Bob Gibson holds FOFC scoreless in the first inning Slider, over the inside corner... Lashed hard out into center It's in for a base hit... Tucker quickly racing over... Fields it smoothly, fires it in behind the runner... Morgan dives back into the bag... SAFE!! Credit Morgan with a single It is a high hard one... Clemente goes on a fishin' trip Strike three swinging! That one sailed up out of the strike zone but Clemente couldn't hold back One gone for NL Post WWII Mays will try the hit and run!

To the ivy... He leaps against the wall... He can't get it! Palmer is at third, with a triple Gunner scores from first The batter checks his swing Here's the appeal Nights held up, and draws a walk Gibson isn't happy at all with that call Sharp slider, catches the outside corner Nielsen swings at it...

That'll be an error on that play Score It: E4 Palmer scores from third!

J. Tucker camps under it He's got it One out Willie Mays is due up next Mays swings and misses STRIKE THREE! Babson strikes out Willie Mays That's the second out of the inning Ground ball through the middle Nights ranges behind second Nice pick up... Twists and fires it OUT! So the Post-Nationals are retired here in the eighth They are still 1 run behind Babson is having his way with them this evening For you stats nuts out there, NL Post WWII is 31 and 18 versus portside starters in 1900 If they don't get busy in the ninth, they'll have to add another "L" to that total Overall, they are 95 and 54 It's a high fly into right Williams ranges to his right Reaches up, and takes it for the easy out With one down Musial yells something out to Niekro Phil nods his head Slider, over the inside corner... Lashed hard out into center It's in for a base hit... Mays quickly racing over... Fields it smoothly, fires it in behind the runner... Potpie dives back into the bag... SAFE!! Credit Potpie with a single (Guarding Lines Effect) Hays sends a hot smash to first Musial takes it on one hop Fires to Banks for one Back to Stan Musial... Harry beats the relay With two gone, FOFC leads 2 to 1 in the top of the 9th Base hit to center for Palmer Dick Howser puts up the stop sign... Hays will stay at second Change up... Gunner was way out in front... Strike Three That's it for FOFC FOFC has 2 runs, 5 hits and one error While NL Post WWII has one run, 5 hits and no errors FOFC has now left 5 runners stranded Fastball, swung on and missed Take a seat Mr. Mathews! One down for NL Post WWII Ernie Banks is still in the on-deck circle and Johnny Bench is looking for a bat in the dugout The pitch is just inside and Banks holds up Hays points down at the first base umpire He gives the "safe" sign Ernie trots down to first... ball four Tommy Lasorda is sending out Lou Brock to first base He will run for Ernie Banks Second base is open NL Post WWII now has a threat to steal Brock is taking his lead from first Knowles looks Brock back He is unable to get his normal lead It is a high hard one... Bench goes on a fishin' trip Strike three swinging! That one sailed up out of the strike zone but Bench couldn't hold back Two gone here in the bottom of the 9th We want to welcome the "Strat Fan Hall of Fame Club" to the game tonight We hope you enjoy your trip to the ballpark He's off to the races! Hays comes up firing... Nights applies the tag... Brock is safe!... Nights can't handle the throw cleanly Defensive manager has decided to pitch around Billy Williams Williams fights one off at the wrists He muscles it to center Tucker moves in quickly He slides on the moist grass! He clutches it while flat on his back! And that will do it for NL Post WWII FOFC wins 2 to 1 Babson gets credit for the win Knowles notches the save Perry takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Deacon Palmer He was 2 for 4 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from NL Post WWII. |

Smooth "DP" by FOFC Three away in the bottom of the 8th FOFC leads 2 to 1 Let's see how NL Post WWII is doing of late... Well, NL Post WWII is 7 and 3 in their last ten games Phil Niekro will be coming on to pitch for NL Post WWII Phil has appeared in 64 games this season He has a record of 10-4 in 99 innings His ERA stands at 4.08 Letterhigh, hard slider... Swung on... It's a line drive belted toward Banks It's by him... Aaron comes in...

Score It: 4-6-3 Two men gone, nobody on FOFC leads by 1 There's a towering fly ball hit by Palmer Mays sprints over, and makes the catch Three down for FOFC Still a 1 run deficit for NL Post WWII Let me point out that coming in to today's game FOFC is 33 and 18 in one run games NL Post WWII has a 27 and 24 record in these tight contests Sammy Knowles in to pitch... Hanging curve... Swung on... Clemente turned that one around in a BIG WAY... Forget it, that one is long gone... a home run Tucker didn't even move That ties it up... Willie Mays steps to the plate Letterhigh fastball... The ball game is over That had to carry at least 420 feet NL Post WWII wins 3 to 2 And just like that the FOFCers potential 2.5 game lead with 4 games to play is gone, and they sit on just a half game cushion. This was a crushing blow for the All-Stars and Sammy Knowles. Niekro gets credit for the win Knowles takes the loss The hitting star for NL Post WWII was Roberto Clemente He was 1 for 4 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from NL Post WWII. |

All, I realize it is a bad time to break, but I'll be heading out of town today for the Georgia State Long Course Swimming Championships. I wanted you to know so you didn't wonder why the thread wasn't getting updated. I'll get back to this when I return... |

Manager Update
That was a tough loss. We got away from what we do best when we tried to make the tough play at the plate rather than take the easy out at first. Typically, we realize the other teams are going to score and we'll let a run cross to eliminate the big inning. But in the heat of the moment at this point in the season, late in the game, clinging to a half game lead, when the opportunity presented itself Jeebs tried to get the out at home rather than geting the out a first...and not only did we not get the out at the plate then Palmer did the same thing with the very next batter and we ended up giving up an extra run. When that happens and you lose by 1 run, you just shake your head at your poor luck... |

So here we sit. We are a half a game back, and the NL Post team has only 1 game left. If they win tonight then we can't win the division outright no matter what we do, the best we can hope for is a 1 game playoff. Come on Carribean All-Stars... |

Score It: 4-3 That's two gone for FOFC here in the top of the 8th Let's take ten seconds for station identification This is the Strat-O-Matic Broadcast System Your four sports network... Smashed to short Wagner grabs it Over to Beckley Got him! Score It: 6-3 Three down for FOFC Still a 1 run deficit for Turn of Century Let me point out that coming in to today's game FOFC is 33 and 20 in one run games Turn of Century has a 29 and 28 record in these tight contests Now batting for Turn of Century... Hughie Jennings... He'll pinch hit for Cy Young Jennings with a .317 average on the season Fastball, swung on and missed Take a seat Mr. Jennings! With one down Potpie yells something out to Babson Brian nods his head Fastball... low and away, ball four Babson puts the tying run on base Not a good idea There's a fly ball into straight-away right Pflaggstettler one hands it... OUT! One more chance for Turn of Century this inning Burkett takes a three step lead Babson holds the ball... Still holding the ball... Spinning he fires it over to Potpie... Burkett dives back... Out! That was a dumb play by Burkett It wasn't even close... He's got to keep his head in the game! Kid Nichols will be coming on to pitch for Turn of Century Kid has appeared in 57 games this season He has a record of 6-4 in 112 innings His ERA stands at 4.82 Sharp breaking curveball... Palmer reaches for it... Hits a two bouncer right to Wagner... Grabs it easily... Fires a bullet to Beckley at first! Palmer is out easily One away for FOFC I had the pleasure of meeting the fine author Robert Creamer last night He told me a funny story about Babe Ruth Seems he was at an elegant dinner party A rather splendid asparagus salad was served Babe played with it for a moment then pushed it aside The hostess asked politely "Don't you care for the salad, Mr. Ruth?" "Oh it's not that", was his courteous reply "It's just that asparagus makes my urine smell" Gunner swings and lifts one toward center Duffy drifts over slowly... He is under it now... And makes the easy catch... FOFC on top 3 to 2 with two away this inning It's a routine fly into center Duffy ranges over and reaches up This should wrap-up the inning... It's in the bank So that's it for FOFC They fail to score against Nichols In the top of the 9th for FOFC No runs, no hits and no errors Kronside is in to try and close this one out... Long fly to center Tucker has a long run... He's there and hauls it in Kelley is retired on a fairly deep fly One away While we wait for the next batter Let's see what's happening in other games These scores are final... Negro League I cuffed Japanese League 6 to 3 NL Post WWII downed Caribbean 5 to 3 AL Pre WWII ripped Negro League II 7 to 1 Left Outs squeezed by Dead Ball Era 7 to 5 AL Post WWII smacked Old Timers 7 to 0 NL Pre WWII downed Late 20th 4 to 2 And in our contest FOFC ahead 3 to 2 Swung on and chopped down the third base line Fouts stabs at it He's got it! Over to first... GOT HIM! What a nice play Extra base hit to center for Wagner A. J. Tucker is trying to get to it This one is rolling to the wall... This might be stretched into an inside the park homerun! He's going to try for it! Here's the play... He's Out!!!! They tried to tie it on an inside the park homerun can came up just a step short... That play keeps the FOFCers hopes alive as they remain half a game back with 1 to play... |

So I screwed up getting the box score for the game. I've rebuilt it best I can from the play-by-play and I'll post it tomorrow. But not everything in it will be accurate and it will be formatted differently... |

Well, sorry for the anti-climatic ending. I will continue this dynasty through the World Series between the Negro League 1 and NL Post Nationals. I'll also post the league leaders, team stats and announce the award winners over the next several days... Last edited by Breeze : 07-25-2013 at 10:04 PM. |

WORLD SERIES PREVIEW
"So we have the match up in the World Series that many predicted before the start of the season - The Post Nationals and the Negro League 1s...it wasn't as easy as many thought, as the upstart FOFC All-Stars gave the Post Nationals all they could handle. Taking it down to the last game of the season, and more accurately the last couple of innings before finally falling off the pace. They deserve a lot of credit for their efforts and we hope they will be back next season to give it another run, they were a fun team to watch...," Hack Jobb states. "However, our focus tonight it to compare these two great teams that will be starting to play for the championship tomorrow. They are both dominating on a lot of levels and we are going to take a peek at the different aspects of the teams to try and determine who has the edge..." "We'll start by looking at the pitching, as pitching is always so important in the post season, and both of these pitching staffs are strong. To help me break it down, I've brought in former pitching great Jim Kaat to get his opinion on the situation. So Jim, lets start by comparing the rotations of these two teams...the Negro Leaguers will probably rollout... - S.Paige 3.51 15 /12 - L.Day 3.73 13 / 4 - H.Smith 3.81 15 / 7 and if they elect to use a forth starter it will most likely be - B.Rogan 4.22 15 / 9 And the Post Nationals will counter with... - T.Seaver 3.06 16 / 2 - who looks like a front runner for the Most Valuable Pitcher in the NL - S.Koufax 3.30 14 / 3 - who pitched good enough to win a Most Valuable Pitcher award in most seasons - B.Gibson 4.64 12 / 8 And if they go with a fourth...Gaylord Perry or Juan Marichal, not sure which they would choose." "Now Jim, on the surface, the starting pitching edge appears to go to the Post Nationals. In fact, It almost looks impossible to beat Seaver and Koufax twice and the Negro Leaguers will undoubtedly face them both at least 2 times and maybe 1 of them 3 times." Kaat, "Very true. I mean, in total over the entire season those two pitchers only lost 5 times, hard to think they are going to lose 4 games with those 2 guys pitching 4 or 5 of the games in the series, but there are some interesting things to consider. If I'm the Posters, I'm setting up my rotation for Koufax to go first, with the Negro Leaguers being such a lefty heavy lineup...and I mean a lefty heavy, he stands the best chance of dominating. But the rest of that rotation is all right handed pitching, and that might bode well for the American League representatives. Those lefties on the Negro League team can really hit and they could give the Gibsons, Seavers, Perrys trouble..." "Hard to believe anyone could give Seaver trouble this year..." Hack Jobb quips..."what about the other way around." We'll the Nationals are a bit more right handed than left, with Aaron and Banks, both MVP possibilities, teaming up with Mays, Clemente, and more...but you have to be careful, because if you get too righty happy, Musial and Matthews will kill you...all that said, I believe Paige will do great in this series, and the rest of the rotation is good enough to win, but if you put me on the spot I'm giving the rotation edge to the Nationals." "What about the pens?" Jobb follows up. "Now that is a different story. The pen for the Negro Leaguers is deeper led by Bill and Rube Foster and MacDonald. The Nationals, have good arms, but they really lack a closer. Bunning served in that role must of the season, but he got killed a bunch. He gave up 25 more hits than innings pitched and he walked a batter every other inning. The edge here, clearly goes to the Negro Leagues..." "Is the pen disparity big enough to give the pitching edge to the Negro Leaguers?" "Probably not, but if I'm a Post Nationals fan, and it's tight late, I'm holding my breath for sure." "Jim, thanks for the insight, and before I let you go, is it true that you have been approached about being on a team in this league next time around?" "There have been some discussions floating around about the league expanding, and I've been contacted to gauge my interest. Not sure where this will lead at this point, but I'm open to having the conversation." "Thanks again Jim...and after the break, we will look at the defenses and then we'll finish up with the lineups..." - Last edited by Breeze : 07-26-2013 at 10:39 PM. |

WORLD SERIES PREVIEW
"So when we look at the defenses of these two teams, you get an idea why they are both here. I doubt there is a team in the league that can claim to have a better defense than these 2...maybe as good, but certainly not any better." Jobb explains. "To go over these defenses we've brought in Dick Allen..." "Why the hell did you bring me in here to talk about defense?" "Well, you played a lot of positions..." "Yeah, played them like crap...defense was a waste of time. It was something I did between at bats. They didn't pay me to play defense...they paid me to rake, and man could I rake. Now a days, I'd be a DH and I'd be so good at it, they'd have put my ass in the Hall of Fame and I'd be playing in this league rather than talking to some stupid shit like you...You and your producers are dumbasses if you thought I could break down defenses...I'm leaving..." "Um...we'll, yes...that was, um...interesting...we will be back shortly..." |

"We're back after the very awkward session with Dick Allen, and with me now to talk about the defenses of the two World Series participants is Dwight "Dewey" Evans, an 8 time gold glove winner...Dwight, how do you access the defenses of these two teams?" "We'll Hack, both of these defenses are very good...you have gazelles in the outfield...Mays, Aaron, Clemente, vs Charleston, Bell, and Torriente...I don't think there has ever been to outfields with more range. It will be difficult to find gaps out there during the series. Both teams have great catchers with good arms, and excellent defense up the middle of the infield. The only areas where I think there is an advantage it at third, where when the Post Nationals use Eddie Matthews they give up a little on defense." "Of course they get 48 homeruns on offense..." Jobb counters... "Oh sure, and you'd and anyone else would take that trade off every day of the week, but from a defense only perspective that is a ding. Also Banks, and I know 50 Homers...isn't as good defensively as Lloyd." "So your overall opinion..." "The Negro Leaguers are better on defense..." "Thanks, Dewey...and before we let you go...I have to ask like I did to Kaat, we here you name as a possible member or an expansion team in this league. Is that true?" "Not sure, there are a bunch of good outfielders that are being mentioned like Murphy, Parker, Frank Howard, Bernie Williams, and I'm honored to be included in the conversation. We'll just have to see how it all breaks down..." "Up next what most of you have been watching for...a breakdown of the offenses...." |

World Series Preview
Hack Jobb smiles as the camera zooms in, "Finally, we are going to take a look at the offenses of the two league champions, and to help me with that we have Gil Hodges. Gil, on the surface the better offense seems pretty obvious, but is it?" Gil nods as he replys, "Well, it is pretty hard to argue with a team that has one 50 Homerun guy, three 40 homerun guys, and 3 or 4 more 20 home run guys...not to mention players like Mike Schimidt who only hit 14 but did it in just over 150 ABs...When a team has that kind of fire power it is awfully difficult to beat." "Just ask the FOFCers about that," Jobb chimes in. "Exactly, The FOFCers had a good offense. In some ways very reminicient of the Negro League team, with power, average, speed...but launching bomb after bomb the way the Posters can, just make it so tough to beat them." "Your really think the FOFC Offense was similar to the Negro Leaguers?" "Oh sure, and I think if you look at it closely the numbers will bear that out. The Negro Leaguers have a bunch of guys that can hit. Cool Papa Bell is a terrific table setter, and while Gibson was disappointed with his season, for a catcher it was extremely good. Charleston is tough, so is Leonard and Torriente. Also, if you look at the middle infield, most teams would kill to get the production the Negro Leaguers got from DiHigo and Lloyd, but when you compare the NL Posts, it isn't close. The one wildcard I'll give the Negro Leaguers offensively is speed. Almost everyone on that team can scoot...and if they get on base enough, they could make things happen, force the issue, maybe force the Posters to make a few mistakes, and they might be able to steal the series..." "Do you think they will steal the series," Jobb asks? "No, I don't. I think the Post Nationals are too strong, and I think they'll win in 5." "Your prediction, is very similar to our other guests so far. Kaat said NL Posts in 6, Evans said in 5, and Dick Allen told me to go screw myself, but in a much more vulgar way..." "We hope you enjoy the series..." |
